PS4 Pre-Order Thread! Where are you getting yours?

Snake Plisken

Just wondering where boardies are going to get their PS4's? Are they going to buy it online? Buy it from the likes of Gamestop/Smyths/HMV/Xtravision? Or going Amazon/other online retailers?

Ordered the Mega Killzone there off Amazon, not liking my chances but the thing with Amazon is that is extremely safe to order and cancel with them. Hopefully I get some good news off them, and it should work out at a bit less than €520 with the extra tax. Maybe Gamestop will offer something in the meantime that'll beat that price but at least I've an alternative to them now even if I have to wait for it.

Extra tax?

Well picked the K/Z, Camera & extra controller with Smyths the other day.

Hoping the camera will have some features which my 9 year old will look but other than that the bundle means little to me.

Asked in Smyths if I am guaranteed it on launch, she didn't know. I went to pay the €480 owed and they wouldn't take it off me... madness.

Sure, the camera is for your "daughter". We know you'll be playing "Duran Durans Dance Party" up till 3am every night over the christmas holidays.

Good news for anyone who took a bundle with Amazon, they have reduced the price of all their bundles deals to be more in line with what people are paying in store here.

Great I ordered the killzone + 2 controllers + camera bundle so it is £429 now , I will keep my gamestop online order but will give it to my brother as they screwed over their online customers with no choice of bundles.

Great news because i was starting to wonder why i was paying so much more with amazon ha. Have amazon actually confirmed this though?

how much did you have to pay pre order

Just paid €20. Got this email today from them.

"In response to your web query,

You are guaranteed the PS4 for launch day, which is as you mentioned the 29th of Novemeber."

Went into Harvey Norman on Saturday and they took my pre-order and said I'd be getting one the ps4's from their first shipment. The guy did say that the shipment might not be available on the 29th though. He's in for a serious wake up call should that happen. I'm not pushed but I know a lot of people who are.

Don't take it as you're not. Just chat again tomorrow or something see what they say. Maybe the person I got just got sick of the same question.

Hey guys, I know I'm very late on this. This isn't for me though, this is for my college's Gaming Society. We only got a budget for a ps4. Hoping I could get a few pointers where is best to get it at this stage? So far Harvey Norman seems to be the place to go.

Seriously? I pre-ordered with them, Harvey Norman too, back at the end of August and was on that online chat there and was told they aren't sure when I'll be getting one but it won't be on release.

Well upgraded my Amazon Bundle to option 5 (Killzone/Camera/Extra Controller), hope they send confirmation soon as you know the way you think you hit option 5 hope I didn't accidentally press option 6 (crappy fifa) :-)

For anyone searching, after being told in Smyth's and GameStop yesterday that there was no hope of one before xmas unless I had ordered months ago I came home and started to consult my friend 'Google'

The ONLY place I came one was Harvey Norman, they have everything marked as 'pre-order in store' EXCEPT for the Killzone bundle for €439, I took a chance on it, you have to pay in full though, I then emailed their customer services and got a call back today, I wanted to know if I would definitely receive it on launch day as there is no mention of it on the website, anyway, the girl I spoke to said they had confirmed another 50 recently (all killzone bundles) and that they would be available on launch day, happy days.

I pre-ordered that exact bundle in store. I hope it's the same thing.

I agree, but at least they have been shown up as a dishonest company that has no loyalty to it's customers.
A lot of people including myself will avoid Gamestop going forward, It's not like GS was ever cheaper than anyone else! and they're customer services now speaks for itself.

Last time I bought a game in Gamestop was La Noire. Only ordered online just because it worked out cheaper than the english sites. It'll be the last thing I buy off them.

Wow. Didn't know that! Must look into this

The Plus Edition, despite it's name has less content than the normal version but seeing as it's a free launch title, can't really complain. And you can upgrade it to the full version with a discount over buying the game outright through the PS store.

Seeing as you need to be a Plus member to play online with the PS4 everyone will have DriveClub Plus Edition free from day one anyway. Not much point in Sony bundling DriveClub at all.

Forza and Fifa are a much better choice to be fair!

Depends on what you are into really, they are 4 very different games. Racer, Sports, FPS or third person semi open world adventure.

I'd by more than happy with any of them bar FIFA.

It's because it's not the shop putting the bundle together, they're official bundles from Sony. Sony either publish the game (Killzone) or more than likely did a deal with the publisher (Watch Dogs). It's the same as the X1 with Forza and Fifa. They were never going to be a game of your choice.

Would have loved COD, Need for speed or even Drive Club.. Is that not published by Sony?

I don't understand why they cant offer the bundles with a game of your own choice. I mean the bundles are good value but i've no interest in Killzone or Watchdogs so in the end I just went for the console only "bundle" :rolleyes:
